so basically I attempted to feed my new snake on Sunday as that's when I was told was feeding day, but he showed no interest, I put him into a separate tub for the feed, I'm just wondering when should I attempt another feeding?

I'm gonna leave a pinkie in over night, hopefully he will eat it then, the fussy bugger

not to sure what they're like in blue :p
My guess is he's going into shed and just needs more time to settle in
hamlin9 Posted - 20/12/2012 : 00:36:26
he's a cremsicle

what morph (colour) is he? some morphs are very obvious when going into shed, does he have belly checkers that are normally black?
hamlin9 Posted - 19/12/2012 : 11:42:32
I'm not sure if he is going into shed, as he has been hiding away for the past 2 days, not even coming out at night.

glad to hear you have a stat, temps sound ok, he probably just needs more time to settle in
hamlin9 Posted - 19/12/2012 : 11:15:53
using a pro rep 6x11 heat mat on a stat, temps are currently 70.6 at cool end and 84.3 at hot end

What are youvusing to heat the viv? What are your temps?
hamlin9 Posted - 19/12/2012 : 09:58:07
he is in a 16in terraium with 2 hides a fake plant which is pretty big and some other small ornament in the middle, although he never uses his hides, always buried into aspen

It's best to give at least 7 days between offering feeds. Just let him settle in for now with no handling or disturbances, although it's fine to do water changes. Hopefully he'll feed for you next time, just needs time to get used to his new home :-) What sort of set up is he in, viv/faun size ?
hamlin9 Posted - 19/12/2012 : 00:38:53
age is only a few months, weight not to sure, only had him 5 days, so obviously he is still settling in, which I think is why he never took the pinkie, I was gonna attempt another feed 2moz but is that too soon, should I give him another day or 2
Georgina Posted - 19/12/2012 : 00:09:04
More details please. Age weight, how long have you had the snake. What tot set up is like inc temps.
